Made all at Fakenham (2m, soft) in December when 5lb lower; nothing since and the trip is a worry. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
11yo mare who has not won in over two years and was tailed off at Taunton (2m3f, good) last month; others are preferred. |

A dual course scorer but this veteran mare came in last of five in 2m Lingfield handicap last month; others are preferred. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Not lasting out over longer trips this term, so return to 2m makes sense, but it's over five years since she was last able to win outside mares-only company; 6lb out of the weights. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Bagged a pair of 2m4f Southwell handicaps last spring and has continued in good nick, second of 12 back there 25 days ago; she ought to be in the shake-up again. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Dual C&D winner in March 2024; those were on soft ground but she's fine on good and was twice runner-up before appearing not to stay 3m here in April; should run well. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Scored over hurdles at Stratford last May but below par on the AW over the winter, beating just one home in 1m2f handicap at Chelmsford in February; more is required after a break in a change of headgear. |
14/1 |

7th 1 (7) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D scorer but she's not proving the easiest to predict of late, tried in a change of headgear when only sixth of eight in 1m handicap here last month; others are preferred. |
12/1 |

6th 8 (6) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All three of her wins on the Flat have been over 1m2f; failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in November but she ran a better race when fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) 26 days ago; cheekpieces replace the visor but this is the shortest trip she has encountered since July 2023. |

10st 13lb |
Posted career-best performance when winning at Fakenham (2m, good) in April and will be fine over today's longer trip but two very disappointing runs have followed and he now has a point to prove. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
3-14 over hurdles with her most recent win coming in April at Fakenham (2m, good) ridden by James Martin; flopped when favourite at Plumpton in May; remains on a career-high mark and needs to leave that latest effort behind but is probably capable of doing so. |

Beat Andapa to win this race on good ground a year ago and added to her tally at Fakenham (2m, good) six weeks ago; back up to her career-high mark today but ought to give this a good shot. |

Verdict
Lady Berlais (second choice) drew nicely clear to score over C&D last month and is respected, while Sawpit Sienna and Silver Vision have both won this month. However, the suggestion is GLANCE AT ME, who travelled well for a long way in a much stronger race than this at Wincanton on Boxing Day, after a layoff, and will hopefully come on from that run here.[Chris Wilson]
